this is cool...I get to help two times in as many days...I hope you will
all return the favor when I get stuck..but anyways ...structures that do
not need to be drawn three dimensionally are linear and planar
molecules..and in representing 3d molecules there are many ways that they
can be shown.an example is taking a box and looking at each of the six
sides....they each offer a different view. the same goes for a molecule.
there are many different orientations that could exist..depending on your
point of view. you have to be carefull though not to create shapes that
don't exist...I think the professor said somthing to that effect on
friday...well there it is..hope I helped...and if I didn't hopefully
there is somone out there that can expand on it....oh by the way...how
bout those pflueger freshman..they tore it up yesterday at the dogpatch
olympics...I wonder who they get it from...Casey Selfridge...itramural
sports rep...pflueger hall...
